>Ohohohoho
>Very Jesusy
>Did MC save Judas too when he sorta agreed to a fate that one of his friends will accept the fate of the traitor and kinda let him die the worst death?
XIII's overall lore, while i love it is a bit of a weird clusterfuck but basically in Lightning returns
>after the events of XIII-2 lightning's sister, serah dies after her seeress power activate
>her last vision was of the world getting flooded by dark miasma energy (it's chaos)
>DLC ending of XIII-2 happens and while the guy lightning was fighting won in the end, she basically went into a crystalline stasis for about 300-500 years
>is awakened and becomes christened a savior by God (bhunivelze) so she gets the kind of powers and such you can imagine from such a thing
>however a part of her soul partitioned off and took the form of someone that looks like a fusion of her sister and herself
I'm sorry but it's a lot to cover in one post so i'll post out the rest but you can google the plot of all three games, regardless i'll explain what i can. Back to LR first though
>typical gameplay loop involves you saving people's souls, including you party members from the prior two game
>more or less everyone, including said party members souls are shackled by grief, sorrow, anger, etc. and you help them in various way to purify and save them
>doing so gives eradia, an energy that you give to yggdrasil, the world tree that gives you extra days (a total of 13, you get a 14th day if you do a certain amount of side quests in addition to the main story ones)
>if you don't do the main quests and extend the limit to the aforementioned 13 days then you get a game over because you didn't save enough souls

I'll try to explain more in subsequent posts
